This daydream,
So lacking in appeal,
Jealously abounds,
Blurs come in random order,
My mind drifted restlessly,
I find myself wandering,
Why am I here?

I'll brood in silent contemplation,
Though my heart holds a burden,
While fancying pleasures,
I'm not swayed by pressure,
I'm completely still in my own calmness.

Breaking the silence of complacency,
Was nothing but the realization,
I was a specimen,
Used for an experiment,
To prove a point...

I miss you,
in songs I haven't heard in a long while.

I miss you,
in small talks that we used to not have.

I miss you,
and I wish I didn't have to.
Taylor Swift just uploaded all her albums on Spotify and listening to her albums made me miss one of the closest friends I used to have.
during the day large cloud bands*
have drifted slowly toward
azure colored ranges

Isn't it strange, the way we think, the way how our heart flutters... I often wonder what it would be like, If tomorrow never comes.
Would it break hearts, allow tears to burn the eyes of the one's I love... would I be missed or drowned in the darkness of the underworld.

Maybe I'd be swallowed up in the earth and vanish in the thoughts of my love, maybe I meant nothing all this time, throughout my life. Would you travel mentally back to that time where we shared laughters, shed tears, or just escape reality for a while and just stared.

Would you cry, would you wish you could take back the pain we caused each other, take back our lies... because each night I lie awake and in sigh, thought of a world without you... seemed impossible, but I know eventually I'd be fine.

Let's make it worth our wild, to become alive, turn heads and roll drums, get caught up in each other... lets do it all, because maybe, just maybe, tomorrow may never come.

I don't know if I should start with how we fell apart
or how we fell in love,
but whichever way it goes,
we know we fell out of love.

I'm not sure if I should start saying "Sorry"
or defend my past mistakes
but whatever happened in the past
we broke up anyway.

I know I was at fault,
I know you were too,
We say we were both just young
Still, I lost you.

I wish rules did not exist in love
but even when we say there are no rules, there are.
because if there were none,
I would have you in my arms right now

But it ***** how we always say "We're humans"
with emotions,
with feelings,
with a story,
and even when we know we still love,
we choose not to.
we pretend not to.
because the rule book says we can't

So we show up at parties
with our new "love"
and feel remorse for ourselves
as soon as we hit the bed at night
because she should have been me
and he should have been you
It should have been us.

but we choose not to.
we pretend not to.

despite how we feel

because our pride is bigger than our love.
I guess sometimes it's safe to say...

We might have never been in love
at all.
How many people today know who they love and why they love but choose not to love, just because?

His mind drifted around her
Cigarette burnt his tired fingers
Her lips contained unsaid words
Words that set her soul on fire
All of you MM.

June's vibrant lace has drifted
with the cool yet warm wind it flew
leaving behind a depth of green
to catch the Summer's morning's dew

I found her
resting atop a hill.
Where fields stretched
far beyond I could imagine.
As I approached her
She told me her name
and took my hand
and led me to places
I never thought I would go.

She led me through lustful forests.
Which heightened my senses
to the point where my mind
was overtaken by
every essence of her.
She craved for me
and I could not resist.
She pulled and tugged
at my heart.
Just as she did my hand.
Until I practically
became her shadow.

I followed her
through bad times
that brought about feelings
of pain and suffering.
These feelings would
gradually transform
to endless tears that would
slowly drip from my face
like rain upon a window.
She was still with me
but I felt her slipping away
from our grip and leaving me
to return to the restless state
I once belonged to.

She soon drifted away
and I refused to be alone
so I chased her.
With all of my strength
I pursued her for days.
Until her presence
no longer existed before me
and I was once again
alone.
